How To Burn Movies From Hard Drive???

Q:How To Burn Movies From Hard Drive???

I have some previously owned movies that I want to burn onto some cds. Not sure if I did this right so far but I used a ripping program that put them into MPEG and I save them on my hard drive. I tried to use Nero 5 to burn them onto a CD but it isn't working. The problem I am having is that the movie is to big for just 1 cd. Does anyone know how I can burn this movie onto 2 CD's using Nero?? I don't have a dvd burner which is why they are going on a cd, I have a Cd-rw and use Windows XP if that matters. I did try using Nero 6 but I had so many problems with it and kept getting errors. Can anyone help?

I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.

I don't want to "pirate" any movies, but would like to rip DVD's that I bought into my computer so I can put them on my iPod.Are there ways to rip copy protected DVD's with many chapters/episodes etc?Which software allows me to do it? Is it legal?

A:Any way to rip DVD movies into my hard drive?

There is no legal way to do that in the USA and discussing ways of doing so is against site rules.

Purchased a new 2T hard drive and hoping to put my ever expanding, out of control DVD movies on the external hard drive. Need some ideas/help with the following:

I have about 500+ DVD movies in the DVD format of VIDEO_TS, and AUDIO_TS folders, also a goodly assortment of AVI type file format video. What I would like to do, is move the DVD's to the external hard drive and hopefully come up with a way to play on the Television directly from the external hard drive. It looks like an organizational nightmare. Would I generate folders Alphabetic ( Folder A, B, C, etc. ) and then move each movie DVD into the correct folder, etc.? Is there a better way? How would I print a searchable data file of the contents? My Samsung TV has an external USB port, is there some program, etc. to do all of this. Just have so much space tied up with the DVD's ....time to shrink all of this down.

Welcoming some thoughts, direction, etc. before I begin the task.

A:~~Need some help putting DVD movies on Hard drive~~

What I would like to do, is move the DVD's to the external hard drive and hopefully come up with a way to play on the Television directly from the external hard drive.Not likely you would be able to play your videos directly from an external drive hooked up to the TV via USB. Check your TV owners manual for info. You'll most likely require another device, such as this rather expensive unit: https://www.amazon.com/WD-TV-Media-Player-WDBYMN0000NBK-HESN/dp/B00JXFM75Y or, like me, you could have a dedicated computer [HTPC] connected to your TV via a computer's display port or HDMI cable with your external drive connected to the computer via USB. Your videos would be viewable via Windows Media Player Classic [my preferred video player] or VLC by simply dragging/dropping the Video TS folder onto the player. I always rename the TS folders first to the name of the video. Drop them all into a single folder & you'll have a continuous alphabetical listing, easily scrolled through [I wouldn't bother myself with doing folders A B C etc, it'll just slow you down]. Set the folder view to Details. Easier than trying to locate a DVD off your shelves. The Audio TS folders BTW aren't needed [they're always empty] & can be tossed. I have an inexpensive wireless mouse/keyboard combo connected to the computer. I've used an old Win7 laptop in the past but now am using a dedicated low profile HP 8300 computer, I bought used for $125 running Win10. Just be sure the compu... Read more

I have several movies on my hard drive and they are taking up lots of my space. I want to burn them to DVDs then delete them but i have a problem. I got them on my hard drive by using MagicDVDripper and DVD decrypter. The movies are generally about 7 or 8 gigabytes, but i only have 4.7 gig DVDs. Is there a program i can use to "re-encode" these movies to mpeg-whatever?

A computer I'm working on had a bad MB, which I have replaced. The hard drive is good. The people want me to see if I can get all their photos and movies off on blank media for them in case their hard drive ever crashes. How is the best way to do that?

A:Solved: getting home movies off hard drive to dvd

How much media is there? In any case its a good idea to have a portable external drive that you back up all the data to and also to DVD as a secondary backup that is easy to mail or take off site (though an external drive is almost as easy to transport).Where DVD backup is concerned you can do it manually using any free DVD burning program (IMGBurn, CDBurnerXP, etc.) providing your own data cutoff points when the DVD is full. I purchased a DVD transformer from ClickFree some time ago and that makes backup to DVD a snap. It will do all your data or you can specify only certain directories and then it will only prompt you to label and exchange DVDs when one is finished, until the whole job is finished. Very simple and thorough, found one for $18 at buy.com.

Hello, i had dozens of movies in my second HD for almost a year now and im not sure if its just me and im paranoid or what but it seems that they lost a bit of their quality and are slightly more pixelated and blurry ever so sightly. I've defragged the HD several times over the time of using it with all my data and movies and does defragging it deteriorate the quality over time?

A:Movies on hard drive lose quality over time?

hi dardra

movies stored on an HD will not deteriorate over time, through storage or moving. Because they are stored digitally, you can move and copy them without losing any quality.

If they are looking more pixelated or blurry, you should check your media player settings.

I realize this may not be possible at all, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

I just got a 1TB Seagate "GoFlex" External Hard Drive, because I have a lot of video files and I was running out of space on my MacBook. I thought it'd be great to play these shows on my Home Theatre system straight from the external drive - it's a USB drive, and the DVD player has a USB port. My Home Theatre is Samsung, I'm not sure of much more than that but I can probably find out if I need, and the files I want to play are in iTunes format, or .m4v, if that makes a difference.

I've done some looking, and it seems like I may have to reformat the external to FAT32, but there also seems to be some concern about whether that's even possible for large drive sizes. So is this even an option, or am I stuck with hooking up my external to my computer to my HDMI and having no laptop when I want to watch anything?

hold your horses i buy movies from movielink. i would like to reformat my computer,but then i lose the movies. Is it possible to use software to burn movies? i have a dvd rom. i did see dvdburners on sale for $50,but i seldom would use it.

I am able burn dvd's to my hard drive using dvd shrink. But the program never finishes the process of burning to a blank DVD. I have also tried dvd decryptor as well as fab decryptor to rip the dvd to my hard drive. When I try to burn the movie to a dvd using Nero the process always aborts itself before it finishes. Could it possibly be my internal dvd burner? It is only about 7 months old(Sony dvd burner).

A:Can't Burn Movies

maker sure that your computer can rip to the CD (if the CD has 16x make sure your computer can rip that fast).

Windows 10 has removed a lot of the previous DVD support. There was a free DVD Player app, at least for awhile, but it was only a player. You may need to get a DVD editor program such as Roxio Creator.

Hi, I have a problem. My computer doesn't burn cd's anymore, and my floppy disk drive doesn't work either. I have no idea whats wrong. My system is a Windows 98. I really don't know anything about computers so I am going to tell you everything I see. On my hard drive it says Verbatim. I have a C drive, a D drive and an E drive. I can play cd's and copy them onto my computer but I can't burn them. When I put a cd in, it plays in the E drive. But when I put in a blank cd, my computer does nothing until I take it out. I can move my mouse, but nothing happens until I remove the cd. I don't know what to do. So lost. Please help. Thank you so much.

i m using xp sp2 proi have a image of leopard os x which is in .dmg format which i have download from the internet and the size of the file is 6.6 gb i convertered the image to iso using ultraiso but when i mounted the iso image to a virtual drive it shows Boot Camp installation file of 400 mbpls help me out ...

If the HD can't give the info quick enough, then burning speed will be affected. Personally, I don;t think you need to worry, it takes me more then 15 mins to burn 4 gig, and its not a big deal. But, you could prolly benefit from at least 512 MB RAM, and changing the whole system to burn dvds faster is too drastic.

I was wondering how it is possible to burn movies or tv shows to a disk and still have a lot/high quality. Right now I can only fit about 4 -5 40min clips on it, but how do people fit more? Whats a good program to use?

Thanks

I have a number of short home movies that I would love to burn to DVD to be able to watch on the TV.Nero wont burn AVI or MOV formats which are what I have and I tried "Recoding" via Nero and that wont play on my DVD Player either.I am confused I thought it would be easy.Do I need to Encript not that I know what that means or do I need some other burning software that can convert AVI & MOV so that it can be played on a DVD player (mine is a Samsung DVD-5600).

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

A:How Do I Burn My Home Movies To Dvd

Hi there! Firstly you would have to convert all the video clips you have into a format that would be compatable for burning to a DVD. This can be long and lengthy process however have a look at DVD Santa or Digital Digest or Google's resultsHope this helps!

Please help me, i have been trying to burn a movie and i have already went through the dvd2svcd and cce but when i burn my movie the cd comes out blank i use nero burning rom and when it's done burning it says burn process complete.

HI,I have transformed some .avi files(700Mo) to DVDs(1 Go) using winavi.How should i burn them to have like 4 ones on one DVD?I burned as DVD data CD but the DVD reader doesn't recognise the DVD.Thx

A:Burn multiple dvd movies on one dvd

You have to use a DVD-authoring progam to create the proper structure. But you may have trouble fitting four movies onto a single DVD - AVI (DivX) files are highly compressed, but they'll have to be converted to MPEG-2 for DVD, and that will create larger files. Even at the highest level of MPEG-2 compression, you'll be lucky to fit more than about 6 hours on one single-layer disc.

How can I burn a music CD to my hard drive so when traveling in a non wifi area I can play my free music from my notebook.The specs on my HP 15-ac130ds say I have a superMulti DVD burner but when I put a music CD in the drive all it will do is copy a link or play the CD.

What you want to do is actually called ripping. Here is a guide on "How To" for Windows 10http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-rip-cds-in-windows-10.htmlDo not be insulted by the webpage title as they make it easy for even the most uniformed users.

I recently resurrected an IBM Thinkpad A2p 2629-HTU. I was having memory issures but the problem was solved with the installation of a pair of 256mb memory chips. I would currently like to replace the hard drive due to what I feel is it's impending demise. I ran an IBM PC Doctor program which indicated some hard drive problems: "Bad Address Mark" and "Error verifying sectors" were displayed at various times during the fixed disc test catagory part of the scan. A replacement hard drive is relatively inexpensive and easy enough to install . The trouble is I have none of the original software that came with the unit. Can I reinstall windows 2000 NT and all the necessary drivers via downloads? Can I somehow send the programs and drivers to an external hard drive and reinstall this way?

I have XP SP2, and was using MP11 B1 to burn a MP3 CD when my Hard Drive began to make some strange sound, like when a fan is stuck with something, tak tak tak tak tak... then my computer went out with a blue screen and an error message that said something like there has been internal error possible cause is new hardware. The message said that my computer will have to restart and if problem persists, to contact manufacturer. So I shut down my computer and restarted it, and my HDrive would make that same sound. I just shut it down immediately.

Please, anyone, please don't tell me that I have lost all my data. Is there any way to retrieve any data from my HDrive without risking losing any more info, music, docs. that is, if data has not been lost already. Is it possible to "open" the hard drive and fix the prob, (im do not fix hardware, neither hard drives), Im just asking, maybe someone who is an expert in hardware repair/troubleshooting can do it.

Install a new harddrive and see if you can access the old one as a slave. If you were willing to pay a very high price, there are companys that could probably retreive the data for you.

This post is in regards to a SATA drive I have. Its worked fine, I have 2 other similar SATA Hard drives, no problems with my ASUS K8VE Deluxe Mobo. Anyways, I was trying to burn a video file to a DVD-R using the DivxToDVD program and a few minutes of it the blue screen of death came up and I don't even remember what it said but it was the typical exception error yada yada. So I rebooted, and the drive the video file was being burned from, Drive "G" wasn't detected, the shortcut on my desktop showed a question mark over the icon. I clicked it and now it says: "The drive or network connection that the shortcut 'Drive (G).Ink' refers to is unavailable. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available, and then try again." I rebooted twice since then, and its the same issue. I even tried downloading the program "Recover my files" but it detects everything except Drive G. I don't know if there's a way to get back into it either in safe mode or just using a program or something, I'm desperate here because I had a bunch of files held on the drive. Thanks for your time.-Tim

A:Hard Drive not detected anymore after trying to Burn DVD file from it

I am seeking advice on how best to replace my existing main hard drive, which is partitioned into a C Drive and a D drive] as each half of this hard are nearly full. The C Drive is used for the Windows operating system and programmes – the D drive is used for my User files and documents. The existing hard drive is a 250GB hard drive, and partitioned into two 125 GB drives. I have now bought a 2TB hard drive and would like to partition it on same 50/50 basis, and use it for the same purposes.I have used the Windows 7 System’s [Start Menu >> Control Panel >> System & Security >> Backup and Restore >> Create System Image] to create a System Image, and have stored this backup onto an external hard drive. Both C and D drives were included in this same backup.How do I now burn the backup “System Image” onto my new 2TB hard drive?Will I have to reactivate windows 7 as well as MS Office 2010 again as well as other programmes?Any help in step by step instructions would be greatly appreciated.

A:Burn System Image backup to new hard drive

I can't give you exact instructions because I don't use that particular imaging program.

But generally---you don't "burn the backup". You "restore" it, using the same program you used to make the backup.

You might have complicated things by putting C and D in the same image file. I'm not sure if they can be restored separately, but I doubt it.

You should not have to reactivate anything and all programs should operate with no issues.

If the restore process goes well--you cannot count on that.

Someone else will have detailed instructions, but there should be a tutorial on this site.

under dvdxcopy plat version i click advanced and there is a browse button but its unclickable. i would like to browse my computer and add dvi files that way. how come i can't click the button?

I have a sony vaio desk top vgc-rb30 . I made a music cd couple a days ago , when i played it I notice that there were only few songs that was burned on the cd , half of it was blank ... so when I tried to do it again it would do nothing. don't no what happen??? I'd really appreciate if someone would help me. please!!!

I have 120 gb external drive. I don't mind using the external drive to burn the system image on as i barely ever use it and yes it still works. However, I worry about system image being re written by virus should i ever get a virus, spyware, malware, ect. on my external drive and then the viruses re enters my system everytime i use the system image. The whole point of even me using the system image would be in the event i get a virus and i just can't rid of it or I just really wanna be sure its gone. So i use the system image to delete everything and restore only what was on the system image. So my question is do you think if be the safer bet to just store the system image on none-rewritable cds? Perhaps this is not very convenient as i would need more than probably 3 cds, but would it be safer and would it let me install it on more than 1 cd? I think the system image is about 80 gbs. So i may need up to 9 cds to store 10 gbs each going from part 1 to part 11. Is it going to let me do that? Oh and i just might make a back up on my external drive as just as emergency back up in the given case one or all my cds don't fully work or should one out of 11 ever fail.

A:System image burn to external drive or burn to cds? Question in messag

Hello Trent,

It would be best to create the system image on a HDD instead. A CD/DVD is less reliable to restore from, and more expensive for how many you would need.

You can do what's in the NOTE box at the top of the tutorial below to keep multiple copies of system images on the same HDD. This way you can create a system image backup that you know is clean, rename the backup folder to keep it so new system images will not replace it. Just repeat this every so often to have a updated system image that you know is clean.

Hello people. I see a nice work on your site!
I have a question you could help i suppose.

I am not very good on computer and technology stuff but i can do the basic things!

So thats my problem:
I have a Playstation 3 and i bought a hard disk of 1T so i can move the movies i download in my desctop to the playstation.
So i filled up the usb hard disk with movie but the PS3 doesnt recognise it at all. So i searched in the internet and read in general that i have to convert my hard disk to FAT32 and some other people said that in Windows XP (thats what i have in my desktop as well) cant do this for more than 32GB.

So my question is, . Do i have any chance to make the entire disk work at my PS3 by any way? If yes , can you please write me the steps to do that.?

The DVD drive I have is an LG GSA-H22L.It has a DVD read of 16x. The problem I'm having is that when I use it to watch movies the playback is kind of jerky or rough. The sound and video skips, and at some points it's all just moves in slow motion. I'm not sure why.With my old DVD-ROM (a much older drive in a much older computer) the DVD playback was perfectly smooth. So I'm kind of confused as to why, when I'm using a newer drive in a better computer, with newer software (the PowerDVD 6.0 that came bundled with the drive) the playback is worse.

If anyone knows anything that could help, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
